N2  - This study introduces a conceptually-based, systematic evaluation process employing multivariate techniques to evaluate a multidisciplinary social work/lawyer intervention model (JASA-LEAP). Logistic regression analyses were used with a random sample of case records (n = 250) from three intervention sites. Client retention, program fidelity, and exposure to multidisciplinary services were significantly related to reduction in mistreatment risk at case closure. Female gender, married status and living with perpetrator significantly predicted unfavorable outcomes. This study extends the elder mistreatment program evaluation literature beyond descriptive/bivariate evaluation strategies. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that a multi-disciplinary social work/lawyer elder mistreatment intervention model is a successful approach.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
